View More NewsYusei Kikuchi stumbles against Dodgers, Blue Jays fall 4-2
Yusei Kikuchi endured a rough outing, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and striking out three over six innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not issuing any walks, Kikuchi's performance was marred by the Dodgers' ability to capitalize on their hits. This game nudges his ERA up to 2.94 and his WHIP to 1.16 for the season, slightly dimming the luster of his otherwise solid start to the year. His strikeout rate took a minor hit, but maintaining a high K/9 and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to keep him relevant in fantasy circles. While this outing might raise eyebrows, Kikuchi's overall metrics suggest he remains a viable fantasy option, though perhaps with a bit more caution attached.
